Public schools in Nova Scotia have gone through dramatic transformation in the past fifteen years. School closings, teacher strikes and lockouts, imposition of compulsory testing, and abolition of school boards — conflict has been ongoing. Teacher and author Grant Frost looks below the surface to find the source of the radical change in agenda.

This book describes the experiences of Black Loyalists who took up the British offer of freedom in exchange for their support in the American Revolution. Some fleeing from slavery, the Black Loyalists encountered hardships, racism, and neglect at the hands of the British authorities.
